I bought a bunch of Al's "M" style inserts for the Lee expander.
I am generally happy with them.
However after having used them for about four months I have discovered two things
that puzzle me;
1. the 312-308 and 313-309 have the same stem dimension, .308
2. after using them for awhile they "cling" to the inside of the case neck
and take more effort than I would think necessary to release them.
My Lyman "M" dies do not do that.
They work very well, I an sure you have seen some of the groups I have posted using them.
Is there something about the metal used in Al's plugs that could account for this
or am I doing something wrong?
BTW, I neck size with a Lee collet die just enough to get the inside to .308.
This happens with both Federal commercial 30-06 and military cases.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
